Preface

*Note: I've gone through and edited/bettered each of the chapters a bit.

Schrodinger's Toast here. So. I recently rediscovered my love of this show by accident. And believe it or not I actually never even knew that there was the Final Act season. It's been such a long time since I've watched. I still haven't had time to watch all of of them (there are so many...) but I couldn't resist watching the last two. And while I loved it I felt they lacked a certain.. umph that the rest of the series had. In the end it was wrapped up very neatly and quickly and without any repercussions or consequences. It was too simple. I know it's idealistic and I know it's literally called "a feudal fairytale" but fairytale endings take many forms.

Anyway, I felt the need to put a proper spin on the kind of ending that I felt the entire series had been leading up to: an ending with a little more flair, a bit more tragedy (Shakespearean, to be clear), a splash more love, a hint more obstacle, and the barest pinch more fairytale. One big final umph. I couldn't help but begin to write it when the idea popped into my head, so I hope you guys like it because this idea has gotten such a hold of me it's more real than the actual end of the story! This picks up around the beginning of the very last episode and overwrites everything from there on.

*Necessary disclaimer: I'm serious when I say I haven't seen every episode. Don't hold it against me if I misuse some terminology or if I miss some tiny thing. I have everything else down pat. Feel free to correct me in a review if I make a mistake. That being said, I will be using some creative license to slightly alter certain small facets of things, but all are done for the sake of story and none are intrusive or overtly noticeable.
